Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of julius caesar.

brutus. kneel not, gentle portia.

portia. i should not need if you were gentle brutus.
within the bond of marriage, tell me, brutus,
is it excepted i should know no secrets
that appertain to you? am i your self
but as it were in sort or limitation?
to keep with you at meals, comfort your bed,
and talk to you sometimes? dwell i but in the suburbs
of your good pleasure? if it be no more,
portia is brutus’ harlot, not his wife.

brutus. you are my true and honourable wife,
as dear to me as are the ruddy drops
that visit my sad heart.

portia. if this were true, then should i know this secret.
i grant i am a woman, but withal
a woman that lord brutus took to wife.
i grant i am a woman, but withal
a woman well reputed, cato’s daughter.
think you i am no stronger than my sex,
being so fathered and so husbanded?
tell me your counsels; i will not disclose 'em.
i have made strong proof of my constancy,
giving myself a voluntary wound
here in the thigh. can i bear that with patience,
and not my husband’s secrets?

brutus. o ye gods,
render me worthy of this noble wife!
